A raging wildfire shuts down Marseille airport.

A wildfire, that had reached the northwestern outskirts of France's second city of Marseille, lost intensity overnight on Wednesday, but the airport remained closed as firefighters continued to battle the flames.

Today was the Los Alamos Airport Open House: losalamosnm.us/Events-Director

They invited the R/C club to fly. We got to take off from and land on the runway, how cool is that?

Only one serious crash, which sadly was Phil's very pretty Spitfire. I'm not sure if Dave's combat wing hitting mine counts as a crash; the propeller came off but I was able to glide the wing back down and it sustained no damage.
